@kevinmh12 It’s not ok for a dad to only spend 1 hour with baby either… it completely overwhelms the person who is doing it all, and not only this, when you care for a child as the primary caregiver, you need the other parent to help with the cooking and cleaning, or else you literally cannot...

@marshmelly I agree that it might not be PPD, but why risk it? If a woman truly has that little of a maternal instinct, why would she have opted to become a mother? There definitely could be many reasons behind that decision, but ultimately something is not right if a woman carries through with...

@lordfeather Well this is definitely not the norm. It’s one thing for dad to help as much as possible, but 1 hour per day of mom with baby…? This simply perplexes me. I spent about 18-21 hours per day with my daughter when she was first born (exclusively breastfeeding). It was really hard. The...

@katrina2017 Sorry for the late reply. Not on this app often. She’s doing much better. After taking her to a chiropractor, she was finally able to squat, then stand independently and is now walking. She also started to eat more and varied foods after the chiro worked on her jaw and cheeks. How...

@jayy18 Thanks for commenting. I already posted there with zero replies. Will wait for replies before adding very personal details. Thanks again.

@sunshine Hey, thanks for responding. Just an update since you’re a therapist (physio?) might help you to know. I took her to an OT and dietician, both wrote me off. I finally took her to a chiropractor who was the only one to evaluate for reflex integration. Turns out her galant reflex is not...

@destroyed Oh wow, and you are so smart! Can you not look at the bigger picture? One leg being a centimetre short caused for a tilted pelvis and herniated discs in my spine, all of which was preventable, and possibly genetic. Is it really a stretch to think that since my daughter has a gross...

@katrina2017 So sorry to hear this. Can I ask what labs were ordered and if he is walking yet? I haven’t done labs yet. My daughter is now 16 months old as well. Not yet walking. I took her to a dietitian and occupational therapist (for above mentioned symptoms) and both wrote me off but they...

@ilovefriedchicken Thanks so much. We were denied the referral for an OT. Not sure if there are private ones here. Worth looking into.

@dirtfisher Thanks so much! Will look into it.

@brightflame I completely agree. Paying is an option, which does not guarantee a quality visit but worth another shot.

@brightflame We’re in Quebec, Canada. The system is beyond bad. The pediatrician just told me she “has a gross motor delay” for the reasons listed above. I questioned and she’s basically taking the wait and see approach by pushing physio. I want another opinion badly. Trouble is, most kids here...

@sunshine Thanks so much

@sunshine Ok thank you. Yes she is not delayed for walking at this point in time. She was a bit late to stand and cruise along furniture is what I was mentioning. But yes, looking at the many issues overall makes sense.

@sunshine Thanks for commenting. Would you mind clarifying what she wouldn’t qualify for? If that’s the case (i’m guessing because these issues aren’t considered severe), do you know how I can argue to have this looked into further?

@lambkisses Oh my goodness… how did you find out it was the treatment that caused the pre verbal trauma? Happy to hear he is eating better.

@dan_ Thank you for responding I’ll look into your suggestions. My daughter luckily hit all her milestones but was late just on these ones listed above. Was it similar in your daughter’s situation? Does she also struggle with appetite?

@dontajohnson Thank you so much, I hope so too.

@dontajohnson Wow, sorry to hear this. Glad your son is ok now. The scary part is that some children actually have very nuanced symptoms of a serious issue. They are turned away until something goes horribly wrong and then it’s either too late or at best the child is doing alright but could have...

@maryln I agree with you that some children are less well developed than others. But the question remains, how much better could these seemingly “fine” children be doing with earlier interventions and support.
